“Saunas are thought to improve circulation and reduce blood pressure, both of which could go some way to reducing your risk of getting dementia.

“This is the first study to look for a link between using saunas and helping reduce the risk of dementia – it found that Finnish men who visit a sauna more than four times a week were two thirds less likely to develop dementia over the next 20 years.”

Dr Rosa Sancho, Head of Research at Alzheimer’s Research UK, said: “Although sauna bathing isn’t a common hobby for men in the UK, this study suggests men who use saunas several times a week may also have a lower dementia risk.

“As this study does not look at other groups of people such as women or people who do not use saunas, we don’t know how this risk compares to the general population and or what might be behind it.”
